My thanks to rdc8118 in Ontario for the DIY link. I followed it exactly and saved myself about $300 over dealer estimated costs. I also picked up the Harbor Freight trim tools for $8-9, which made the job easier.

PS: Kudos to the German engineers for designing the most absurdly complicated and fragile
cup holder imaginable. The darn thing looks like a high school science project gone wild.
